science people say so...
because with measurements, everything is quantized.... and if something can't be quantized, like ghosts, then they are not real, or of no interest...
because science people are interested with matters of consequence...

It's a critical part of the scientific method. When you formulate a theory, it's based on your observations. Inaccurate measurements lead to inaccurate theories.

Likewise, when you use your theory to predict new outcomes, the difference between success or failure may be in the parts per million. So, again, accurate measurements are mandatory.

Case in point. Einstein's General Relativity predicts that frame drag and relativistic speeds will cause a decrease in the perceived time. Measurements of the rubidium clocks aboard GPS satellites confirm Einstein's predictions. The measured time dilation is 38 microseconds per DAY. That's two parts per BILLION difference. To determine that difference your accuracy needs to be 4 times better, or 0.5 parts per billion.

Haha...ur grammer aside, they are part of experiments. People work with computers and formulas, and these require numbers. Measurements, calculations and evrything translate information into numericals, which are easier to deal with.

Hope this helps=)
